Child With Swollen Eye Due To Injury. Need To Get Checked?

Yesterday my 2 1/2 year old had a bike vs pedestrian accident with his older cousin and was hit in the eye. It was just a big lump and bruise with slight eye lid swelling but today when he woke up it is his whole eye lid as well as the bruiseing. Like the lump moved to all over his eye is this normal or should I take him in and get checked out.
